Abstract

A method for treating finely divided materials with a treatment fluid (steam), particularly for conditioning oil containing vegetable raw materials in which one or more vibratory conveyors with a perforated bottom has treatment fluid introduced through at least one inlet opening under the perforated bottom. The larger particles formed by clotting during the action of the treatment fluid are pulverized by pulverizing members and an additional perforated plate. The conditioned materials are dried in hot air.
